Who am I and Why do I want to write about Parenting

I am a working mom of a beautiful 4.5 yr old girl, Navya.
4.5 Yrs ago I was a very ambitious career oriented woman, always aspiring to do best in my studies and in my career. I always thought "Parenting" is way too overrated. After all how hard it can be to raise "somebody" who doesn't know anything in this world? Provide good food, good education, love and discipline them, and I'll get a perfectly raised kid. Why do people ever give up their ambitions to raise a kid? How hard it can be to manage work, house and kid? May be add 3 more hours in your day to day work?
I know all the moms reading this are smiling at my ignorance(of 4.5 yrs ago)
And what do think today?
Raising a kid is most difficult, most complicated, most rewarding, most exhausting, most satisfying (and many more feelings with superlative clauses) thing I have ever experienced in my life so far.
As a parent, every new day bring new challenges and new rewards. When I talk to other moms I realize, even though it feels to me I'm the only one experiencing all this , I am not.
And that's why I started this blog to share my experiences, views, questions and suggestions with all the other moms/parents out there.
